摘要:
Inflatable space structures may undergo the vibration of a long duration because of their features of dynamic deployment,high flexibility,and low-frequency *** this paper,a topology optimization methodology is proposed to reduce the vibration of a spinning inflatable *** the first step,a variable-length shell element is developed in the framework of arbitrary Lagrange-Euler(ALE)and absolute nodal coordinate formulation(ANCF)to accurately model the deployment dynamics of the inflatable *** the help of two additional material coordinates,the shell element of ALE-ANCF has the ability to describe the large deformation,large overall motion,and variable length of an inflatable *** nonlinear elastic forces and additional inertial forces induced by the variable length are analytically *** the second step,a topology optimization procedure is presented for the dynamic response of an inflatable structure through the integration of the equivalent static loads(ESL)method and the density *** ESL sets of the variable-length inflatable structure are defined to simplify the dynamic topology optimization into a static one,while the density-based topology optimization method is used to describe the topology of the inflatable structure made of two materials and solve the static optimization *** order to obtain more robust optimization results,sensitivity analysis,density filter,and projection techniques are also ***,a benchmark example is presented to validate the ALE-ANCF modeling *** deployment dynamics and corresponding topology optimization of a spinning inflatable structure are studied to show the effectiveness of the proposed topology optimization methodology.
